Your Dream Car - But With A Twist ......

[Hoovie]

Everyone probably has a dream car they would buy if money was no object, etc.

BUT ... what was the car you always wanted as a child?

I think there were two for me

Dream Car #1) The Dakari Jeep

It wasn't so much that actual jeep, but the paint scheme - I would love those zebra stripes on a old pickup or something

Daktari was a great program

Dream Car #2) The Lotus Europa

That is the real thing above, but the reason it was my dream car is below ....

It was my Favourite Matchbox Car

[local hero]

I have always, always, always wanted a Porsche, not a ferrari, an Aston(apart from James Bonds DB5) A Lambo, or anything else, A porsche 911 carrera..but if i had the money now + the space i would put one of these in the garage..

Porsche 356 cabrio...

[dave.m]

For me, Lotus Esprit ;)

hmmmmmmmmm rear wing

Been in a sierra saphire cossie, Bl**dy quick, one minute they were £25000, then the insurance went thru the roof + all of a sudden you couldn't give them away, same with the escort cossie, bet you could pick one up now though Duncs, but dont let the misses drive it

[Hoovie]

mazda rx3 is my dream car

Never heard of the RX3 - very nice

It reminds me a bit of another one I always liked...

[chatman]

Also remember one of my sisters boyfriends having one of these....

Brilliant car, and immaculate...he even made her wipe her feet before getting in it :lol: ......She married another guy :P :P

Some how my dads Vauxhall Viva looked ancient next to it..........................

[Remoh1]

my dream car for as long as I can remember was this (Jaguar XJR, 370bhp 4.0 litre supercharged :) )

and the good thing is thats the one I owned for two years :) :) :) :)

[Flexydevon]

(Maybe in a minority with my choices here.)

My absolute dream car from as early as I can remember is the Citroen DS.. Still is now, though it would depend on where I was living in the world to as which model of DS I would have.

That is actually ME sitting behind a DS.

Though my parents love of the Camry has somewhat rubbed off on me & I genuinely find the Camry (SXV20) extremely attractive still.

Showing my age, I was impressionable and callow youth

mainly because of this, I'm afraid to say (you will need to set aside ten minutes to enjoy fully)

Had 3 of my favorites, Sierra Cosworth RS500, 1098cc MG Midget(Raced that one), MG Metro 6R4 ( only borrowed that one) but that was great fun especially in the wet.

Still waiting to drive the other 2. Genuine Cobra, and Lancia Stratos.

The Cobra and Midget go back to when i was at school.

Still a big kid at heart.

Has a Child (instead of the Big Kid I am now ), I always loved this:

Ferrari 512BB.

Closely followed by this:

Porsche 924 turbo

I can still dream!

[Garry.L]

Also remember one of my sisters boyfriends having one of these....

Had a 2.3HS Chovitte briefly....... :)

And this is my latest 'Vauxhall'.......errr........ Lotus....... err......... Vauxhall - ish.

[Robert6920]

60's Porn........... :D

Apart from the fact that you could loose the rear end faster than you could say :help2: , and that after a few miles your feet were medium-to-well-done (thanks to the proximity of the exhaust) I agree this is the most beautiful motor. I spent a blissful couple of days in one, many, many years ago. It was red

Unforgettable

[Fujisan]

When I was a little older :P , my love turned to this:

Ferrari 288 GTO

[abraxas]

OK, to the batmobile, then :)

1937 Darl'Mat coupe

I thought being made in 1937 gives it the right to three pics. Respect the elders n'all...

[Robert6920]

May I have another go (please?) cos I'm enjoying this...

Jaguar XK150

[Hoovie]

I remember having a book on pre-war cars as a child which had a couple of pictures of the Cord "Coffin Lid" cars and wanted of of them.

[Hoovie]

And coming right up to date but back in time at the same time (huh!), Here is a BRAND-NEW car that I would really love and would get if the money was spare

Kit Car with space frame (and is extremely fast due to power/rate ratio), designed & made in Cornwall
